Savannah is here

... and oh say almost 3 weeks old!

I managed to make it to exactly 39weeks which is beyond measure of what I had hoped for. Because of all the issues my OB said he wanted me scheduled for November 18th, exactly 39 weeks.

I went in the morning to the hospital with my mother and Carl, there was one emergency c-section that bumped me back a little.

I went back to the OR and they had some trouble getting the spinal in the right place, that felt weird. Finally they got it right. Of course in my usual style the spinal made me throw up. My mom came back right as I was finishing that.

It didn't seem like too long of a time before they were actually delivering Savannah. The actual process of removing her was a little more muddled than any of her brothers or sister. She had to be assisted out with forceps and even then she was very stuck, seriously the entire table was moving.

At 11:36 am Savannah Lee was born weighing 7lbs 11oz and measuring 20inches long.


I'm apparently stubborn and not only refused narcotics while in the hospital but I also insisted on coming home a day early.  Then of course I may or may not have driven on the 21st.

1 day old!

Hair, oh my goodness the hair!

So far I think we're adjusting well. Savannah is a sleepy little thing still and has really only one awake period a day. 
Sophie and Sam absolutely adore having her around. Simon on the other hand is curious but really just wants to be a little baby himself.
